The camp has been arranged, and we are ready to go down the small hole first. There were four of them, but not all of them had to go down, they had to stay on the ground. According to Mu Qiang's habit when they used to work, this person who stayed behind was called Yuan'er, which means that he was in the center and was responsible for answering and contacting.

The radio receiver was in the car that was coming, and a guy named Hu Gaoshan went down from the small hole first. When the other party goes down four or five meters, it will send back a signal that symbolizes safety or danger, and after a few minutes, the guy said, the small hole is at the end, and there is really a big space below.

The end of the small hole is overhanging, but there is a collapsed wall that reaches the entrance of the small hole, and you can climb down along this wall. Mu Qiang and I also went in one after the other, and after turning the tortuous and narrow hole, we saw the collapsed wall.

Hu Gaoshan took the lead, first climbed down the wall, and then inspected the surroundings. The traces of the previous two explosions were faintly visible, but no strange thing was found.

"Well, let it run anyway." I feel very uncomfortable, we have to use a light source when we go deep into here, and the light source is a very eye-catching sign, and no matter where we go, if something strange is still hidden nearby, it will definitely find it.

But there is no way, if you don't advance, you have to retreat.

"Wealth is in danger." Hu Gaoshan is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he is very reliable, he is a distant relative of Cao Tian, but he has not been in the industry for a long time, he only knows that people who do this business are likely to get rich, and they can eat a lifetime with a piece of goods, but he probably has not seen it, behind those who are rich people, there are many unlucky ghosts who are not rich but put their lives into it: "I am not greedy, I can touch something, I don't come in vain, Lao Zhou's family, and tofu, I don't dare to think about it." ”

"You're content." I accosted him a sentence in order to calm my mind and not be tense all the time.

Hu Gaoshan said that the goods of the old Zhou family are the bronzes in the jargon, tofu, which refers to jade, and specifically refers to old jade, these things are worth the money of the old nose, but they are too hot, not the kind of big guy with hands and eyes, and he doesn't know what to do with the goods.

Hu Gaoshan probed below for a while, and taking advantage of this opportunity, I looked into the distance at the entrance of the cave three or four meters high. I didn't dare to cast the flashlight too far and look closer. What I saw in front of me was basically consistent with my speculation.

The ancient city, an ancient city that was buried underground. There is no name, and there is no historical record, it quietly appeared in this desert, and quietly disappeared in this desert.

It is now impossible to determine how the ancient city sank into the ground. The geological landform near Taer Lake should be unlikely to undergo such a subversive geological abrupt change.

The only explanation is that when this ancient city was built, it was underground.

Hu Gaoshan was sure that there was no danger for the time being, and Mu Qiang and I followed one after the other. Since I didn't observe the scene from afar, it's hard to tell how big the ancient city is. But according to my own thoughts, this little hole is next to the bell tower, and where we are now, probably in the center of the ancient city.

After coming down from the hole, a wall three or four meters high blocked the road to the east. According to the direction analysis, the bell tower is a little to the east.

"Mr. Lian, this place may be too big, we have few people, and there are potential dangers, now you have to get a good idea, what will we do here."

If Mu Qiang hadn't said it, I might not have thought of this problem. When I first discovered the hole, I just wanted to come down and take a look, but I couldn't tell what I was going to see.

"Let's take a look around, as much as you can."

I had a hunch that this ancient city was certainly not the destroyed Morsacgan, and that the intention of building an ancient city underground, in itself, made one wonder what the owner of the ancient city was up to. This ancient city near Ta'er Lake is an ancient city with a story.

Mu Qiang can probably hear it, if there is no accident, I want to see the entire ancient city. So he wasn't in a hurry, he originally planned to climb over the wall to the bell tower to take a look first, and now he walked slowly along the road in the ancient city step by step.

The three of us opened up a distance, only Hu Gaoshan, who was walking in the front, turned on the flashlight in his hand, and Mu Qiang and I did not use the light source, but walked forward with the help of Hu Gaoshan's flashlight.

In the direction we are walking now, on the left hand side is a very long wall, about three meters high and less than four meters high, and on the right hand side are houses one by one. This ancient city is very haphazardly planned, and the houses seem to be built by hand, with some houses spaced seven or eight meters apart, and some places next to each other.

All the houses are of this structure, and after walking about 20 meters, the fence on the left hand side turns to the east, and the right hand side is still a piece of house. I've always wanted to judge the owner of the old city by the style of the buildings, but I always see this kind of boxy hut, the structure is very simple, and there are no special features to speak of.

Hu Gaoshan stopped at the fork in the road and turned back to ask for my opinion to see which way to go. The terrain between these huts is very complicated, and it is difficult for others to find an empty house to hide. I was afraid that I would be attacked by strange things when I walked into the middle of these scattered houses, so I planned to follow the direction of the wall, and when I got to the right place, I would go and see the bell tower first.

Hu Gaoshan was very obedient, and he turned his head to turn around, but when he turned around, the flashlight swept over the room next to him, and this time, Hu Gaoshan seemed to have found something.

Following the direction of his flashlight, we saw a window at the back of a hut.

If there is a house, there will be windows, and a house without windows is strange. But if the location and shape of the window are different from ordinary windows, it is easy to make people feel ominous.

The window at the back of the hut was about 130 centimeters above the ground. The window is small, probably about the size of my two palms together. Such a small window, but with iron bars as thick as a thumb. There are four iron bars, which means that the gap between the windows is very narrow, and it is estimated that they can only be used for ventilation.

Hu Gaoshan just found the strange window, so he tiptoed over and looked inside.

"This ......." Master Hu glanced at it, then turned his head and smacked his lips, and whispered: "How do I feel, this house doesn't look like a place to live." ”

"If the house is not occupied, what else can I live in?" Mu Qiang replied: "Xiaohu, this time I went out with Mr. Lian to do things, it's not a joke, you should be serious, don't talk nonsense." ”

"I know that I am doing a big deal with Mr. Lian, how can I talk nonsense, you can come and see for yourself."

I followed and looked, and when I approached this small abnormal window with my own eyes, I understood what Hu Gaoshan meant.

These houses, from the outside, are about two meters three or four high, which is lower than modern ordinary houses, but the productivity in ancient times was not developed, and sometimes the houses were built lower to save materials and reduce construction intensity, which can actually be said.

Since we came in, we haven't really noticed what the rooms are like, what they're in, until now, and I can't see clearly.

The room looks more than two meters tall from the outside, but the space inside is small. The foundation is very high, the roof is also very thick, including the surrounding walls, which are like super giants, looking particularly thick and solid. As a result, the actual usable space in the house is quite narrow, estimated to be only about 80 centimeters in height.

In an eighty-centimeter-high room, normal people have to lie down directly when they enter the door, let alone stand, and it is impossible to even sit.

Looking at it, my scalp became numb, just like Hu Gaoshan said, this kind of house, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a resident.

Maybe it was this phenomenon that opened the valve of my mind all of a sudden, and one question after another kept coming to mind.

The area around Ta'er Lake is so vast and relatively flat, if you have the energy to build an underground ancient city, it is definitely enough to build a city on the surface.

To build the city underground, the construction is relatively more difficult, the resources consumed are relatively more, and the most important thing is, is it convenient for people to live here? Without a light source, it would be impossible for this ancient city to be built by a large group of blind people.

All the questions, combined with everything I was looking at in front of me, made me feel just a chill rising from the soles of my feet.

What is this hellish underground ancient city for?

"Probably....... Maybe ......." Hu Gaoshan didn't expect a casual guess from himself, which made my face a little ugly, and he hurriedly added: "Maybe the people here are very tired from work, and as soon as they finish work every day, there will be no other entertainment activities, and the only thing to do is to sleep, since it is sleeping, then it doesn't take too much space, go into the house and lie down, and fall asleep, Mr. Lian, do you think my analysis is reasonable?" ”

I forced a smile because I couldn't feel lighter. Thinking about it with your heels now, you also know that this deep underground ancient city is not a good place.

"Stop, Lian is always good-tempered, you don't want to get a ladder and go to the moon." Mu Qiang glared at Hu Gaoshan, and Hu Gaoshan didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with him, and when he encounters things, he uses his imagination to use his imagination, and it can't be said that it is completely bad."

"Mr. Lian." Mu Qiang carried his clothes, lit two cigarettes in his clothes, handed one to me, and the two of us held the cigarette butts with both hands to block the light of the cigarette butts.

"What, you have something to say?" I have been in contact with Mu Qiang for a while, and I know him somewhat, he is more stable, and he will not be like Hu Gaoshan, who will take out everything and say it casually.

"It was when I saw these houses that I remembered something, not something I experienced myself, but the master who took me to the beginning." Mu Qiang asked, "Do you remember, it's the master with a special nose." ”

"He's ever seen a house like this?"

"It's not exactly the same, but it's close."

"Where did you see that?"

"Guangxi." Mu Qiang directly pinched the cigarette butt with his hand and said: "It's almost to the border with Vietnam, at most fifty kilometers away from the border." ”
